THE Cup AGAIN TO THE RESCUE
THE MISSING CORPSE TAKEN TO
THE RIVER.
Our friends the Adamses, senior
and junior, made another rather ex-
citing discovery with the unerring
coffee cup last evening and fastened
to give US the startling information.
In the aforementioned gully, under
the brush-pile and below the dead
horse in a westerly direction
from the city proper, are some
pieces of tin, so placed that the body
of a man, specially if he was MUIR
dered, could be concealed. The
cup last evening plainly showed to
the enthusiastic scientists that this
tin had concealed the corpse from
the usually quick perception of
Chief Waddell, and that it had been
removed, the body taken up care-
fully, and borne away to the river.
The great splash OF the water, as the
unfortunate victim was thrown into
it, was plainly visible to the naked
ewes of the Adamses. Three men
and two women were distinctly seen
bearing the corpse away to its watery
grave. The women were so disguised
as to make them look like thew had
short hair and long beard, while the
men wore long hair, villainous
expression, and looked like they
chewed tobacco, which the Adamses
do not. Mr.. Adams, junior. suggests
that the Mayor and Chief Waddell
ride around in that locality-the
Chief to cut off his attractive whis-
kers, as they would be easily recog-
nized, and leave off the big plate
which he wears on his breast, and
they would certainly find something
astonishing. N
He wishes specially that people
along down the Mississippi keep
a lookout for a stray corpse, for he
says justas sure as the moon changes
something will turn up and throw
light on this dark mystery. They
have promised US to work that cup
for all it is worth, if the Chief O
Police will do his part in ferretine
out this crime which has cast {
gloom over South AshevilIe and thu
dead horse in the gully, We unite
with the Messrs. Adams in believing
there is a bottom to this thing, anC
we believe also that that cup vii
show ityet.

Mr.. EDWARD FOWLER.

Mr.. EDWARD FOWLER.
Several of our citizens and many
in Jackson remember this young
man, who a few years ago was con-
nected with the Georgetown gold
mines in Jackson. After doing
that section he returned to Brook
lyn, N. Y, and connected himself
with a bank in that city, and did so
well therein that he was just and
eminently ready to join that noble
army of bank officers who have
crossed over the river and taken up
their abode in Canada. Instead
however, he was invited to quarters
more or less comfortable in Brook
lyn Jail, where he now awaits the &C.
ton of the jury, for such cases made
and provided. His embezzlement
was not so large as that of many
others, but he made an intelligent
start in that direction.
